WASTE DISPOSAL

Food and drink producers must ensure that all trade waste they produce in the course of their business is disposed of by a licensed waste carrier. There is a directory of licensed waste carriers at

https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register/view/search-waste-carriers-brokers.

Some types of waste, including waste food that contains products of animal origin, must be stored and collected separately from other waste. For more information, go to

Waste water produced by food and drink production businesses may be classed as 'trade effluent', which means that sewers consent must be obtained from the local water company to discharge it into public waterways.
